    Hi ask lang ako if meron dito or meron dito may kakilala na-refuse ang visa na IDP student? Thank you! :) I'd like to know lang the chances of refusal kahit may agent.
    Ako na refuse tapos na approve

    "IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT".

    John 14:14

    Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

    @asdfghjklqwerty No need to show proof of funds. Just make a statutory declaration that you have sufficient funds to study in Australia. Ipapa notarised mo yun. IDP helped me w/ all the requirements. Try to call them. :)

    Another question... regarding sa employment history sa visa application.. I worked as a nurse reliever just to pass time while waiting for my application. Do I need to declare this? I'm worried it might affect my application since it's a low-paid job and baka ma-question dun sa 'circumstances in home country' ng GTE assessment. Please advise me. IDP didn't give so much details about this part :(

    Will the embassy really trace if you were employed or not?

    @shanedc08 It depends on CO. Yung iba dito that is under SVP, they got their visa 14 days after. Some, like me, got visa approval 3 months after lodgement. It's case to case basis. :)

    Hi po! Im a nurse din sa pinas. Think positive lang po and dont worry too much.. Kase po masasayang lang po ang energy nyo.. Been there on your situation na halos ma-praning na sa kakaisip.. Hehehe. I've been working in a BPO company since 2011 till dec 2013 and di-neclare ko po yan sa application form ko. Mas mabuti na po na maging honest ka kasi they have their own ways to know your employment background. Im praying for your visa application to be successful too. Laban lang! And get rid of those negative thoughts!!

    Nasan ba yung sponsor mo? Kung nasa pinas either dapat nandun din name mo sa account na yun or mapatunayan mo talaga na family friend mo sila.

    Welcome to the site. :) Based on other people's experiences dito, usually tatawagan ka kung may mga clarifications or additional questions on top of what you have already provided on your application form. Ano bang mga tinanong sa iyo if you don't mind my asking?
